The Harder They Come

[Verse 1]

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky

Waiting for me when I die

But between the day you're born and when you die

They never seem to hear even your cry

[Chorus]

Because as sure as the sun will shine

I'm going to get my share now of what's mine

The harder they come the harder they'll fall

One and all

The harder they come the harder they'll fall

One and all

[Verse 2]

Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down

Trying to drive me underground

And they think that they have got the battle won

I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

And I keep on fighting for the things I want

Though I know that when you're dead you can't

But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Than living as a puppet or a slave

[Chorus]
